Hadith 126

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ كَثِيرًا ، فَمَا حَدَّثَتْكَ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ ، قُلْتُ : قَالَتْ لِي : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ ، لَوْلَا قَوْمُكِ حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : بِكُفْرٍ لَنَقَضْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ ، فَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ ، بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ النَّاسُ وَبَابٌ يَخْرُجُونَ " ، فَفَعَلَهُ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ .
Narrated Aswad: Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka`ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said, 'O `Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka`ba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same.
